Stewart Granger to Richard Burton in The Wild Geese,.. caught in his own office and threatened with death;
Granger: Well, then…I guess you’d better kill me then.
Burton: I guess you’re right (raises pistol)
Granger: NO! Wait!
(sound of phutt)
Apparently expressing intentions to violate the daughters of a man with a background doing wet works is not conducive to continued intake of oxygen. Who’d have thunk it?
Drill himself underneath ground and then expand it . Toss in body and deflate. Only ground disturbed is at edges.
But outhouse hole, an incendiary grenade and lime fixes more readily the disposal issue.
Methane build-up and dumb city guy sneaking a smoke is an explanation.
Witness, “Yeah we saw the dumbshit, he was sniffing panties and locked himself in there. Even with the no smoking sign. Dumbshit blew himself up. Lucky we were upwind of that spot. Good luck finding enough of him to bury. You know, fire ants need fed too.”

Probably blorp into a hog, too, but I dunno if he can digest.
K9s seem to adapt to the concept that only humans can go lethal. Wonder how “Jeff” and “Jo” have that in their programming.
The “contractor” signed his own death warrant as far as a Father was concerned. The “spotters” at the bar were some closer to the line. Their “jacket” may make a difference.
Zed’s piece may be a gov’ment unmarked “ghost gun” but, evidence is evidence, when an agency is involved. Hopefully it was reported as lost in nowhere-stan many years ago.
Was it me, I’d leave the body somewhere it would be found, but well away from anything DD related. Back lot of a whorehouse in the DC area, maybe. You want them to know what happens when they send off the book goons.
Conversely, if everybody they send just vanishes, yeah, that sends a message, but it may also draw artillery. Don’t forget how the Russians finally stopped Simo (albeit only temporarily)
I’ve been wondering where and when this would kick off. Fathers seem more willing to “do the things” to defend their children in DBD universe. Wood chippers and pressure washer rentals are set to go way up.
The amount of stupidity, though profound, is believable. If a Biden can be elected then a pedo going after the daughters of someone that he knew sniped his way through the sandbox is perfectly in the realm of possibility.
“Then I hear the best thing to do is feed them to pigs. You got to starve the pigs for a few days, then the sight of a chopped-up body will look like curry to a pisshead. You gotta shave the heads of your victims, and pull the teeth out for the sake of the piggies’ digestion. You could do this afterwards, of course, but you don’t want to go sievin’ through pig shit, now do you? They will go through bone like butter. You need at least sixteen pigs to finish the job in one sitting, so be wary of any man who keeps a pig farm. They will go through a body that weighs 200 pounds in about eight minutes. That means that a single pig can consume two pounds of uncooked flesh every minute. Hence the expression, ‘as greedy as a pig’.”
I worked on a pig farm in high school. Boss told me that, when I was out feeding them, keep moving, even if you aren’t going anywhere, keep shuffling your feet, because they’d eat the boots right off your feet, and then eat the feet. Hell, they’ll eat their own young if you don’t get to them quick enough. Lost a dog to the bastards, too.
There’s a reason that I break my “don’t eat intelligent animals” rule for pork. Yeah, pigs are hella smart, but they’re major assholes.
Still not convinced he shot the vermin, but if he did…
Pick up the brass and dig the bullet out before disposing of the trash. Hopefully, if he really did terminate the trouble, he used solids instead of fancy super-expanding ones that leave pieces behind for someone to find…assuming the fragment container is ever found, that is.
Complete disposal is almost impossible, thermite and an ash scattering over the open ocean well beyond the continental shelf, maybe.
Then again, Jimmy Hoffa could use some company.
And nobody, not even Sam, needs to know…
Old saying:
“The only way two people can keep a secret is if one of them is dead.”
So a suppressed weapon doesn’t go “phut” as portrayed in movies, it changes a loud ‘BANG’ to a lowered decibel boom or pop, if you will. I’m guessing that Zed shot him with an air powered trank gun, that does go kinda “phut”. Don’t know what Zed has planned for personal Fed, but it’s bound to be entertaining.
PHUT! is as close to a suppressed .22 assassin’s tool as ever you will hear (or see, with that sound in you mind’s eye). It’s a loudish PHUT! but it is indeed PHUT! Ask me how I know…
But like Oldarmourer, for certain reasons I doubt that was a meat shot, wouldn’t be the first time Zed has let that POS live, but I’ll bet it’s the last.
Which doesn’t explain the -THUMP!- yet, but we will see.

Oldarmourer
Subsonics in .22, 9mm .38Spl and .45 make little to no recognizeable report when fired through through an oil filter or lawn mower/other small engine muffler…the action cycling makes more noise than the shot itself so loading single shot and boosting the recoil spring to keep the action closed takes care of that.
Don’t ask me how I know these things but it was learned legally 😉

ULTRA-MAGA TOP DAWG JTC
And yeah, somebody’s mention of brass does put the lie to my assassin tool. For one they would almost exclusively use wheelies (no brass ejected) but if they did use a pistol (looks like a 1911 platform) that ain’t no double-deuce flying through the air, and it ain’t no rimfire, so even with that good-sized can, you would likely get a pop, ironically while the slime-ball also gets popped.
There is a sound of a bullet hitting a body that was not expressed in the scene. Maybe the coat muffles that. I haven’t enough experience with clothes-wearing targets.
If we’re talking .22, a supersonic round will bang like crazy. A subsonic is quieter than the slide racking a new round. And if, like Zed probably has, you’ve got a slide lock on the pistol to prevent the action from cycling, it hardly makes any noise at all.
A 1 liter Pepsi bottle filled with paper towels will (so I hear) make one or two rounds very, very quiet.
Steel or brass wool works better, especially if it’s lightly oiled 😉

There are ways Ultra-Maga. But it’s easier with the right ammo and the right firearm. You don’t need a silencer with the right set-up.
A .45-70 rifle, say a Marlin lever gun, with a standard length barrel. Cast up some 400-500gr flat nose or hollow point bullets out of nearly pure lead. Soft cast. Make your ammo with about 5gr of Bullseye or 9gr Unique. Magnum primer and a 3/4″ square of 1 ply toilet paper pushed down over the powder to hold it in place. Start at 10gr and work your way down until you achieve the desired subsonic velocity; if you go too low the bullet will get stuck in the barrel, but soft lead ones can be pushed out with a sturdy thick long dowel and a mallet.
The big soft bullet comes out the barrel around 900fps, the pistol powder and bit of TP is completely burned up before the bullet has even left the chamber, and the pressure drop with a straight wall cartridge is tremendous. All of which means “nearly no bang, and about twice the kinetic energy of a .45 Colt”, plus the soft lead bullet will come out the far side of your target a bit over an inch in diameter. So exsanguination is very very rapid even if you don’t hit a vital organ. Once you get the right load you’ll need to practice with it, as the trajectory is really steep after about 50 yards.
The only reasons guns go bang is 1) the pressure differential at the muzzle, 2) the sonic boom made by a bullet going more than 1100fps.
Ok, using a rifle lacks that dramatic panache, but what I just outlined will cleanly and accurately kill deer out to 80 yards or so. With less noise than a firecracker.
Garland and Wray will “discuss significant national security cases addressing malign influence schemes and alleged criminal activity by a nation-state actor in the United States”…
The Justice Department did not cite whether the schemes involved or were aimed at the Nov. 8 midterm U.S. elections.
Right. They are losing large and have got to start a war to stop it, and have no compunctions about doing so. “A nation-state actor in the United States”…I wonder who or what that could be? (Hint: Starts with the letter “T”).
Had a rare political talk with a hardcore Democrat. Kept it mostly civil, but inagoddadavida, it’s truly Earth vs. Saturn now. There are NO common points of reference anymore. NO attempt to think – rationally or otherwise – on their part. Just hate, desperation and fear (of being exposed). I’ve had it with these “interesting times”…
Looks like Zed stepped off the porch. As the Father of a Pretty Daughter said Cretin would be dealt with in such a manner as to dissuade any future concepts of harm. I’d also have used a Flamenwoofen first cause BCE knows the value of protecting the young folk.
Well, DOJ says after years of investigation they caught a couple Chinese industrial spies (maybe)? The Q&A could have asked about Swalwell’s honeypot or the hand China has in our annual 100,000 plus fentanyl deaths ~ crickets.
“Leave the gun, take the cannoli”
Wouldn’t it be something if that particular pistol was listed as issued to a very senior DoJ official and reported as ‘lost’ the next day, especially if it was found by the local Sheriff complete with fingerprints, even on the cartridges, and dna samples on the grips, etc. with the rest of the box in a desk drawer in an office in Washington…
Wouldn’t it be even better if said senior appointed official’s whereabouts couldn’t be accounted for during that time but their phone records and ‘chip’ signals indicated they travelled to a small town in Texas for a few hours.
It sure would be nice to have someone in Washington who could pull off such a thing…
Of course, Zed might have just shot the phone that we heard falling to the ground…something invariably fatal to anyone under fifty.
That’s the nice thing about parallel universes that are much like ours but obviously ‘fictional’…there’s no threat actual or implied to any real person so no official retaliation could (make that ‘should’) survive a court challenge 😉
or….it was a tranq.
Dude will wake up in a homosexual whorehouse in Juarez, feet in buckets of concrete…bent over a couch, with a change jar set next to him for “Payments”. Wearing nothing but his badge, pinned to his back
The burro show starts at 3pm and 9pm.
Bet on how much the fibbie can take.

Well the tranq suggestions had my mind remembering Agent Wilson Blair’s videotaped confession in John Ross’ Unintended Consequences … Then I realized that with Jeff/Jo technology available, Zed doesn’t need the original to accomplish this result.
With a wild hair thought…
Zed did not shoot, fakir fibbir did.
Thump is Zed. Now about his gun, umm Airsoft?
Fibber gets prosecuted. Shooting a person on his own land doing Nothing illegal.

Shoot, shovel, and shut up.
Just imagine if he’d said the same thing to Sam.
There’d be nothing left of him to find.
They could have Sam try to cook him like a Thanksgiving Turkey.
Both cremated and launched into a decaying orbit.
It’s good to have a friend with a backhoe.
or hogs.
But the FBI says it can find human DNA in pig shit…they oughta know
So use someone else’s pigs…
When you have to shoot, shoot, don’t talk.
I read that whole opening blurb as “kill me now”.
And the last part as “okey dokey”. Thump!

Exhibit A as to why Family, NOT Government, is the foundation stone of civilization.
YESSSS!!!!
Gosh, some people just have a gift for saying precisely the wrong thing at exactly the wrong time.
Zed finally got the right snake!
One of them, anyway.
There is still a nest to clean out.
Zar Belk!
I knew the ass wipe needed to go, but it would have been nice if the Women could have dealt with him in bits first.
Is this the first intentional killing for this series?
Just wondering, no big thing, epically gummint people.
You missed the earlier years when Zed was a sniper in the sandbox?
Beltway,
‘Toly and the crew of a Blackhawk can emphatically answer “No!”
In Iraq series plenty of targets service. Think a goat or two too. Mercy killing as goat had jihad installed in the back…
Government has no limits?
Wanna bet?
Zed just “limited” one.
A million more to go.
Apparently expressing intentions to violate the daughters of a man with a background doing wet works is not conducive to continued intake of oxygen. Who’d have thunk it?
Especially not when he’s pointing a loaded suppressed handgun at you. What did he expect to happen?
Don’t forget the quicklime.
How is Jeff on digging holes?
He can probably >BLORP< into a garden-sized backhoe.
Zar Belk!
Drill himself underneath ground and then expand it . Toss in body and deflate. Only ground disturbed is at edges.

Only question is disposal…one, or three?
K9s seem to adapt to the concept that only humans can go lethal. Wonder how “Jeff” and “Jo” have that in their programming.

Just swap out the barrel and the firing pin.
Ahh. Now *that* was tasty.
One way ticket punched.
Express Down Elevator. Next stop, First Bolgia of the Eighth Circle.
“And people who talk at the theater.”
Firefly
Stay safe
Including Child Molesters.. and Kid Sniffers
Head or belly?
Testicles, if not lethal, it would be at least life changing
Farm kid here: You don’t don’t torture a rabid animal. You put it down as efficiently as you can, bury it deep and get back to work.
Head; no thrashing and little blood.
Twitching isn’t rare at all. It’s almost 2 of 3 from military fiends in sandbox.
Yes…
Was it me, I’d leave the body somewhere it would be found, but well away from anything DD related. Back lot of a whorehouse in the DC area, maybe. You want them to know what happens when they send off the book goons.

The times are a comin’ when the gloves come off.
Dumped on any street in Chicago.
It explains everything and isn’t even a blip in the statistics.
Always remember to police your brass.
A true “hush puppy” would have a slide latch, making it a single-shot. No noise from action function, and you dump expended case into your palm….
Sic semper tyrannis.
I’ve been wondering where and when this would kick off. Fathers seem more willing to “do the things” to defend their children in DBD universe. Wood chippers and pressure washer rentals are set to go way up.
Don’t forget the rending plant or being lowered into a pit of hungry hogs.
The amount of stupidity, though profound, is believable. If a Biden can be elected then a pedo going after the daughters of someone that he knew sniped his way through the sandbox is perfectly in the realm of possibility.
Tasty huh? Guess you’ll never know.
Zed needs to start a hog farm..
Well, this is Texas, where “he needed killing” used to be adequate rationale for taking someone out.
Plenty of feral hogs in Texas to destroy the evidence.
Hell with a Backhoe. String ‘im up by the road after digging out the round, with sign around the neck, saying Pedophile.
More fertilizer for the back forty!

Air guns don’t have brass to eject.
THUMP is the body hitting the ground
There is a sound of a bullet hitting a body that was not expressed in the scene. Maybe the coat muffles that. I haven’t enough experience with clothes-wearing targets.
It’s all conditional, my bro has a .300 blackout subsonic rig for his AR he uses without hearing protection. It goes more “zip” than anything else.
You see the brass in the frame. I’d say it was lethal.
If we’re talking .22, a supersonic round will bang like crazy. A subsonic is quieter than the slide racking a new round. And if, like Zed probably has, you’ve got a slide lock on the pistol to prevent the action from cycling, it hardly makes any noise at all.
